Toennis-Adson Neurosurgical Scissors

Description

Toennis-Adson Neurosurgical Scissors

Toennis-Adson neurosurgical scissors are fine dissecting scissors for neurosurgery. Surgeons use them to cut dura and delicate tissue when they need precision in a narrow field.

A combined pattern

The name joins two neurosurgical pioneers, Wilhelm Toennis and Alfred Adson. As a result, the pattern blends a fine working end with a practical length. So it suits both cranial and spinal cases.

One size

We stock these scissors at 18 cm. Also, that length lets the surgeon reach below the surface while keeping good control. For a curved version with tungsten carbide inserts, see our separate listing.

Where they fit

Most neurosurgical trays carry a few scissors in different lengths. The Toennis-Adson neurosurgical scissors sit in the middle of that range. So they often become the everyday pair for dura and fine tissue.

How to decide

If you want a standard pair for daily cases, this is a sound choice. However, if you cut a lot of tough tissue, the carbide version may last longer between sharpenings. We can help you compare.

Caring for your Toennis-Adson scissors

Clean the blades right after surgery, before blood can harden. Then work the joint open and closed under running water. Then dry them well, check the tips and sterilize them in a rack.
